Gargoyles - St Denys - Goadby Marwood, Leicestershire - Gargoyles and Chimeras on Waymarking.com

Four gargoyles around the bell tower of St Denys' church, Goadby Marwood. Three of the gargoyles are in 'lightly weathered' condition, although one on the south east corner is broken off almost completely.

"Situated in the heart of this conservation village, the Grade 1 listed ironstone church was built around 1280 with additions in the 14th Century. It was restored and reseated in 1884.

The church is dedicated to St Denys. It possesses more carvings than most, with four gargoyles adorning the church tower and many stone faces found within."
